Chapter 130: Bribing the Son of Heaven (1)
The next day, there was a slight wave in the merchant circle of Luoyang City.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Shaoyou and Ronghua sat on a merchant ship at the south pier of the city, receiving sporadic merchants.
"General, this matter is in no hurry, you still need to take your time, three or five days as fast, seven or eight days as slow, and you will definitely make a name for yourself in Luodu!"
"Hehe, General Ben is naturally not in a hurry, this time I came to Luoyang, and the last thing General Ben lacked was two things!"
"Dare to ask the general, what is the most lacking?" Ronghua asked curiously
Zhuang Shaoyou stood up and said confidently: "Time and money!" After saying that, he walked outside the cabin, trying to go to the deck to breathe.
Ronghua guessed that this General Zhuang did not lack time, and some of the kung fu was spent here, but he actually said that there was no shortage of money? What's the situation? In the past, Director Zhou and Director Wu came to Luoyang to do business, and each trip was worth a maximum of millions of dollars, although these eight million were a lot, but in Luoyang it was indeed not much, this General Zhuang was so confident, is this cargo worth a lot? Is there a million?
It should be about the same, 10 million yuan for a ship, 50 million for five ships, well, it is indeed a lot! My Rong family only has so much money! Thinking of this, Ronghua suddenly regretted a little, yesterday the general promised to share his own two percent of the profits, but he was refused, at that time I thought it was just a few million dollars, hey, I was so distressed! But I hurriedly followed.
Zhuang Shaoyou and Ronghua got out of the cabin, stood on the deck, and saw three middle-aged fat men with a few small guys coming to the ship, that Ronghua signaled to Zhuang Shaoyou when he saw this, and then walked to the outside of the deck and shouted: "Who am I!" It turned out that our Sanliu from Luoyang City was here! I said how to stand on my tree as soon as possible magpies and call, but I didn't expect that there would really be a distinguished guest! ”
When the fat man in the middle of the three of them heard this, he raised his head and saw Ronghua, and said with a smile: "Brother Shengcai, when will there be a magpie at your door?" I think it's a sparrow, right? No, I heard that Brother Shengcai got a batch of good goods during dinner yesterday, so our three sparrows came early this morning, hoping to get some food from your old fox! ”
"Brother Bocai, don't talk about it, if you three are sparrows, then Luoyang City will be full of reptiles!"
Zhuang Shaoyou listened to Ronghua talking nonsense with these three businessmen, and felt a little funny in his heart, at this time, Ronghua welcomed the guests onto the boat, and then sent an inquiring look to Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou saw this, immediately called the entourage next to him, and said in a low voice: "Take them to cabin three!"
Everyone came to the door of the No. 3 warehouse, and a steward came to open the hatch, Zhuang Shaoyou was the first to enter, and the rest of the people also entered.
"Brother Shengcai, your boat is good! The inside of this cabin is so bright, what a clever workman! One of the three fat men admired.
Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Brother Zhongcai, this is not my ship, how can I have such a life, this business Rong is just an errand boy!" This is the big boss! ”
When the three fat men heard this, they were suddenly a little surprised, and quickly turned their heads to look at Zhuang Shaoyou with a smile on his face, this kid is a big boss? Make no mistake, right? So young? Could it be the son of a family of which family? Looks like you've got to be careful!
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be nervous, you are also a businessman, as long as you trade with me properly, I promise that you will not suffer losses!" ”
The three of them frowned slightly, and Ronghua hurriedly said: "Owner, let's ask the guests to see the goods first!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou waved to the steward next to him, and the steward immediately brought someone forward, "Unpack!" ”
Several big men hurriedly went up and carried the big boxes one by one, and all of them were opened
The three fat men didn't care about it, they looked calm, but after the box was opened, they looked at it intently, and suddenly even their eyes fell out, and the fat man named Bocai suddenly rushed over, caressed the silk in the box with his hand and said, "This! This is fine silk! Even if it's not as good as Su embroidery, it's almost the same! And this, this is Jiangnan porcelain, huh? Wrong! It seems like a little different! ”
The big men opened a few boxes one after another, and the three fat men couldn't help it anymore, they all pounced excitedly, identifying them one by one, silk, porcelain, jade, processed high-quality medicinal materials, etc., everything was first-class!
When Ronghua was in contact with Zhou Tian and Wu Liang before, he had also seen this kind of goods, and knew that these were all produced in southern Liaoning, so he was not too hot-eyed, just coughed lightly, and the three fat men hurriedly gathered their minds when they heard this, and stepped forward and asked, "Dongjia, how many of these goods do you have?" All three of us have it all! Make an offer! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said, "Three, don't be too anxious, I just looked at a cabin of goods, and there are others!" Someone will take the guests to the fourth boat to have a look! ”
It turned out that Zhuang Shaoyou numbered the merchant ships of the fleet, the warship was No. 1, and the remaining five were two to six, the five and six were loaded with Liaonan's own specialties, while the No. 4 ship was a specialty of Jiangnan, the No. 3 ship was a specialty of the Japanese Kingdom and the Korean Peninsula, and the No. 2 ship was a Ryukyu specialty and a variety of rare treasures!
Each three-masted merchant ship had four cargo holds of one hundred and fifty square meters each, a four-masted merchant ship had eight cargo holds, and a five-masted merchant ship had twenty cargo holds.
Everyone came to the fourth ship, entered one of the cargo holds, opened the box, this time not only the three fat men were stunned, even Ronghua was taken aback, the steward indifferently introduced: "Guests, this cabin is Jiangnan Su embroidery, this ship also has a cabin of Jiangnan porcelain, a cabin of Jiangnan Longjing and Biluochun, jasmine and other tea, and the last cabin is other groceries." ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly, and said to Ronghua: "Boss Rong, I'm not good at talking about prices, there are three ships of goods here, these three bosses can pick at will!" The price is okay, just give them a lot of discounts! Okay, let's talk! I went out first."
Ronghua and San Liu were stunned and looked at Zhuang Shaoyou who was calmly leaving, and set off a monstrous wave in their hearts, and San Liu thought in his heart: Look at people, this is called Fan'er! I don't care about the price at all, it's pretty much it! What a spirit!
That glory is even more churning in my heart, atmospheric! Too angry, and you trust me so much, just throw it at me? Don't worry about me getting a ghost? And, just now he said that this is the fourth ship? So what were the first few ships loaded? Thinking of this, Ronghua remembered that when he was in the cabin just now, General Zhuang said that the most important thing in this trip is time and money!
It seems that the strength of this General Zhuang has to be reassessed, how many things are on these five ships? I'm afraid I can't beat 50 million, right? Can it still be hundreds of millions? Ronghua suddenly shuddered, hundreds of millions? That's an exaggeration! Don't say that those powerful people have the heart to rob!
The next day, the merchants of the entire Luoyang City were all boiling, and there were goods in the south of the city, high-quality goods! That silk is spun better than the local ones in Luoyang! And it's cheap! The clothes are so trendy, I'm afraid it won't take a few days, and the ladies and ladies of the rich and powerful families in Luoyang will have to wear them!
In three days, the entire three ships of southern Liaoning and Jiangnan specialties were all sold, under the signal of Zhuang Shaoyou, Ronghua set the price not too high, which attracted a burst of crazy robbery from the merchants, and finally the three ships of goods were sold out, Ronghua helped to take stock of the harvest, and was suddenly startled, a total of 2,000 catties of gold, 30 million dollars! It's only three cargoes, and it's already 50 million dollars! Then there are two ships of better goods, isn't it ironclad to exceed 100 million?
After the three ships were sold out, many merchants rushed to hear the news, waiting for the transaction, and when they heard that they were sold out, they lamented in their hearts that they didn't catch up!
Zhuang Shaoyou and Ronghua sat in the cabin, Zhuang Shaoyou took a sip of Longjing tea, and sighed in his heart, he really didn't understand the difference between this tea, only he had a soft spot for Longjing, and the taste was just right, jasmine tea was too greasy, Biluochun was too slippery, only this Longjing, after soaking for a long time, drank a fragrant and astringent feeling, and he liked it the most! It seems that I still like heavy tastes! Hehe!
"Boss Rong, the harvest has been pretty good in the past few days, I'll transport the gold back first, and the remaining 30 million money, you can take it to the event!"
"Poof~~~~~~~" Rong Hua just picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, but when he heard Zhuang Shaoyou's words, he suddenly squirted out, and he couldn't care about his gaffe, and asked eagerly: "General, all this money is used for activities?" Do you need it? ”
"Hmm... If it's not enough, I can raise some more! ”
"Not enough? That's enough! Enough is enough! Oh, the subordinates mean that there is too much money, isn't it too wasteful to use it for activities? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and said: "We don't have a backstage, so we have to pave the way with gold!" Ronghua, who are you backstage in Luoyang? Is there anyone with a better character? I want to meet him! ”
Rong Hua frowned, closed his eyes and thought for a long time and said: "General, how can the magnates of Luoyang City have good character!" If there is, the subordinates will not be thinking about leaving this place of right and wrong all day long! Luoyang is not only a businessman with such a mentality! Even those powerful people are no better, who can guarantee that they will still be rich tomorrow? Over the years, the people in power in the court have changed one stubble after another, and if you say something rebellious, the Son of Heaven has never changed! Therefore, once those powerful people gain power, they are desperately looting, and once they have the power in hand, they will carry out the order! ”
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he sighed in his heart, in the last years of the dynasty, it has always been like this, and the feeling of precariousness has made everyone more crazy than in the past, who knows if tomorrow will be able to maintain today's status? However, this is good for themselves, well, since those merchants want to go, then it is better for them! Go back and get an immigration policy and let them all go to southern Liaoning! These guys are all elites who have been picked up by the big waves, and they are much more slippery than those local merchants in southern Liaoning, but this net worth is also very expensive! Lao Tzu doesn't want your money, as long as you go to Liaonan with money, it will be a victory!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Shaoyou's mood suddenly improved, and he said, "Boss Rong, what suggestions do you have for the auction?" ”
"General, my subordinates think that the hardest backstage in Luoyang City is nothing more than today! That is, His Majesty the Emperor! ”
